Abstract
A controlling node (210) for UEs (115) in a cell in a communications system (200), arranged to generate (255) and transmit (230, 235) control commands to the UEs regarding their output power level, and to generate those control commands using either at least a first or a second power control scheme. In embodiments, the first power control scheme is a signal quality based power control scheme and the second power control scheme is a signal strength based power control scheme. In embodiments, the controlling node (210) is arranged to receive (230, 240) from a network controlling node (205) information regarding the capabilities of at least one other controlling node (220) in the cellular communications system (200) with respect to which power control scheme or schemes that the other controlling node (220) is arranged to use.
